Very interesting article. I think you are very insightful on the dispute between Ben and Candace. I really appreciate Candace and hope her influence grows. In my opinion, she has matured dramatically from when she first appeared on the scene. Fast talking neo-con war monger Ben has lost most of his early appeal for me. Candace has the courage of her convictions and is not a political hack. I do disagree strongly on George Floyd. He was not murdered. As the coroner stated, he died of natural causes due to his overdoes on drugs. His life and death while tragic indeed, was due to his own bad decisions. Thank you for your article. I am happy that I received it.

The difference between “anti-white bigotry on campuses” whatever that means and the after effects of 10/7 are obvious to anyone who is not blind to them. It’s almost funny to talk about anti-white bigotry in a nation that is controlled by white men, me among them. But that’s besides the point. The context of any “anti-white male bigotry” is sufficiently distinct from that of Israel and Jews. Again a pretty mundane point of view. Shapiro, like the Republican Party made the bed they are forced, or enjoy being made to sleep on. I don’t really care. They will blow up eventually as their poison envelops them totally. But let’s not equivocate between so called white male bigotry and what’s going on post 10/7 with both Jews and Israel. There is no relation whatsoever.

“ the conflict is about Israel and Palestine, not Jews and Palestine”

You lost me there. Hamas has made it clear that it’s about Jews.

The students on campuses (attacking Jewish students who have nothing to do with Israel and threatening their safety) as well as crowds all over the world (chanting “death to Jews,” “gas the Jews”), swastikas outside of The Free Press offices, Jewish stars drawn in Europe on the doors of Jews.... have made it about Jews, not Israel. Ignoring the enormous rise of antisemitism right now does make one a shitty person. Anyone who pays attention knows about it. Candace’s stand on why are Jews special when American Jewish children are literally being relentlessly harassed, including physically, is - well - antisemitic. Defending that stand is antisemitic. Pretending, against overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that this is just about Israel is antisemitic.
